@racocn8 That sucks! Who took your findings? Did they fix it? Did you quit?

@michelle666gar My microphotographs of the cracks went to my supervisor. They documented that the flaw was present due to the subcontractor's assembly techniques. What the lawyers worked out after that, I don't know. The photos showed why the cracks developed: too much filler and maybe it was too hot when made? The manufacturing of the tanks was shifted, first to Provo Utah and then to Chihuahua Mexico. I don't know whether they sought to remediate or replace the other tanks made in Japan. I'll just guess they left the other in place, hoping that they didn't fail also...

@racocn8 Well, crap! That sucks. LOL
Seriously, the slow creep of failing ethics and or moral codes in the corporate world has always been a big issue, think Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire in 1911. Construction and factories operating during the industrial revolution factored into their costs of doing business money to cover deaths for a certain number of workers, of course not for the kids or women employed in those shops.
One of the changes during the New Deal was Frances Perkins progressive ideas and changes - the dreaded regulations the incoming admin wants to completely do away with. The fight over regulations has been ramping up since before reagan, he just took it to the next level - imho.

No.

If anyone is still in Facebook you can look for that to go to hell more in January. Zuck met privately with Agent Orange so we know that soon you cannot be negative about our felon. So far I can still get away with a post like I'm writing now. I suspect it to get so bad that trained AI will hunt you down ASAP and they will boot you or try to sue you, maybe both.

Even now the Trump lovers say I'm off my meds, go away old man, and some think I have become butthurt. After all, it's over now and it is time to work together and move on. They want us to do what they cannot do. Wonder how they will feel after the first 100 days? I'm pointing out that we all have people on Social Security so intelligent people know this will be a problem. 1900 is a time in history, not some era that we can go back to.

@DenoPenno This morning I can’t get into Facebook so am cruising Agnostic instead.

@DenoPenno Oh, I'm already seeing a change in the wording on what were deemed center/very factual news media sites. I'm really pissed over this. It really is like trying to put lipstick on a pig.
Sometimes I try to think of the worst vile, parasitic agent(bacterial or viral)/critter/creature on planet earth and trump and his supporters are an insult to all of them.

@silverotter11 Yup, they are already self censoring and joining the party line, just as I knew they would do if Trump won. So much for responsible journalism. They're all afraid he will imitate Putin and shut them all down if they don't toe the line.

@TomMcGiverin It will be interesting to see how long before they resort to the whack a mole for disagreeable posts. I am not sure they can stop the information flow with so many platforms. It certainly does not mean that they won't try.
